Taj79 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 So a home tournament for Coastal Carolina then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I knew it wasn’t going to be very good considering how late it is. I’m guilty of this, but the lack of fan support is why we aren’t getting the fun ones RUBillsFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I do like the area, I was just looking at the Empire Classic about the same time as this one. Hmm maybe I can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicCityBilliken Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I know the area well. For 16 years I had a condo in the Porcher Ave area. They probably will be playing in the Convention Center-in the downtown area (seen Clemson play Coastal Carolina play in the Convention Center years ago). Used to have a big HS tourney over Christmas called the Beach Ball Classic that was also played in the Convention Center. I should be able to make it. BTW: Lots of good seafood especially around the Merrells Inlet area. thatskablamo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I will likely make it. Mrs. Taj likes Myrtle. Mid-November is usually good weather still. thatskablamo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatskablamo Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Got a pretty good corporate rate through work ($114 a night at the Homewood Suites by Hilton Oceanfront) if anyone needs me to book them a room. It ain’t the Knights Inn, but it will do. Maybe we should do a round of golf in between? Some fantastic tracks down in Myrtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Area Billiken Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Welcome to the 2023 Myrtle Beach (Mid-Major) Invitational. While I've never been to the Carolinas and am sure Myrtle Beach is a nice place, read it lies in the middle of a 60 mile long beach, the entire field at this tourney consists of mid-majors (assuming that is what SLU now is). Nary a Power 5 + 1 is in this exempt tourney. This is the new normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 You’re not gonna get the field you want every year. Last year’s Myrtle Beach tournament was solid. This board can’t help but ***** at everything. I’ll be at the beach livin’ it up! Billiken Rich and DirtyRican like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is hardly an “overreaction,” nor a complaint. The truth is neither. This is an all mid-major tournament, will not assist the NET. This is the new normal. We know next season is a rebuilding season, and the schedule will likely prudently and understandably be lighter than this past season.

Nary a Power 5 + 1 is in this exempt tourney. This is the new normal. It isn’t the new normal for Davidson, Dayton, the Bonnies, Rhode Island, Loyola, VCU, and UMass. They are all in far more attractive events with multiple P6 teams. I will bet the same will be true for Richmond and St. Joes. This is a deliberate decision by SLU to schedule down. Either because they don’t understand how the NET actually works or they are just looking to artificially inflate the victory total.

Slu let the dogs out? Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Only see info about last year’s participants online but it appears as though this tournament is played the week before Thanksgiving? My recollection of Myrtle Beach is that it’s the Daytona Beach of the Carolinas. A true redneck riviera if you will. Perhaps the wife and I leave the kids at home and party hard.

On court success is one thing, but travel packages are the name of the game for good MTEs. cgeldmacher and majerus mojo like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
